True!

Is a call for getting back on topic detrimental to it however??

But... but puting a train back onto it's tracks is hard!

Although I'm not exactly social like alot of the ones here, I find the OT a great place with plenty of humor and great discussions, and many of the ones that seem to get ostracized from the community actually are causing it themselves by just ignoring the way that things are done in the OT and trying to establish themselves as a member of the community forcefully with spam or posts that disrupt a thread in way that is unacceptable by the veteran community. Being tolerant of others is necessary sure, but if those others do nothing but disrupt the current community then it is only natural that they will not tolerate it and will do what they can to make that person leave the community.

Then again I rarely actually interact with anyone in OT and when I do they tend to just ignore my idiotic posts so really I guess this is one of the most tolerant communities I have been around lol

I understand that very well Victus. And I will never approve of spamming this place on a massive scale, as we have previously seen. But such is not my argument!!!

My argument concerns exclusivity towards differences of cultural tastes and even age of posters. And don't anybody try to tell me those don't exist here. All one has to do is to profess a liking for Twilight to have practically the whole O-T fall on their case. This happened to Merien a while back, this happened to Hyena recently. Not to mention that all one has to do is to be Lord Ken. Or Lyla.

I am convinced those incidents happen primarily because we haven't learned to view ourselves as a community yet. once we do, these things will largely disappear, though of course never completely. such is human nature.

I get your point Wildor although these are rare cases.

I know Woody, and I shouldn't have gone into specifics either. Such was not my purpose at first. But it seemed a few examples were called for as my point seems easily lost for many, somehow.

At any rate I hope I am communicating here. And that there are some listening.

Back off every one! He didn't say he likes Twilight.
